How to Insert a Link in a WordPress Blog Post
Inserting links in a blog post sometimes gets frustrating to bloggers. I assured the last blogger who was having linking problems that I would write a blog post with instructions on how to insert a link in WordPress.
You see the three words in the last paragraph – “insert a link”? There is a blog post on HighDesertBlogging.com about high traffic linking. I went to the URL of that blog post, highlighted it, hit right click and copy then came back to this post and highlighted “insert a link” then clicked on the “Insert/edit link” icon. Next a window popped up where I pasted the URL. Often, there is already an “http” in the window, so I always delete it when pasting the URL.
Next in the pop-up window is a place with a box and this phrase, “Open link in a new window/tab”. I checked the box then clicked on “Add Link” at the bottom of the pop-up page which brought me back to this post I’m currently working on.
Pretty easy, right? There are also some shortcuts that Authormedia.com offers in a helpful cheat sheet that I recommend. Try them. You may like using these keyboard shortcuts. They are good to know and might make linking less complicated for you.
Happy Linking!
I’m glad it can be of help to you. 🙂
Easy cheat sheet to keep my head on straight. I will be using this info and adding a few move shortcuts, too.
